The Cambodian Women's Oral History Project records life-story testimony by Cambodian women about their experiences under the Khmer Rouge regime, with the full testimonies archived at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Cambodia. (Cambodian Women's Oral History Project)

Overview

The project was led by the researcher Theresa de Langis, with You Sotheary and Thorn Sina as project assistants, and gathers narrators' own accounts of the years from 1975 to 1979, including survivors of widespread sexual and gender-based violence.

Material coverage

Full testimonies take the form of video-audio recordings with transcripts, and the project states that the transcribed recordings exist in Khmer and English. The website itself publishes short transcript excerpts that the narrators selected themselves. (Cambodian Women's Oral History Project)

Catalogue and access

No item numbers are published. The full testimonies are archived at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum for public access and historical preservation, and narrator pages state that an interview may not be used, published or duplicated without the explicit permission of the lead researcher.
